Oh, Hail No!

I'm so beyond late posting these bizarre pics. What a strange day it was, driving home from school on a dark and dreary day. Small bits of ice start to hit the windshield....then, more, then more, then, thunder, then lightning, then, "Mama, is it SNOWING?" We had a crazy storm and the hail fell for almost an hour straight! It was piled on and resembling snow so fast, that even I had to go out and test it. But it was hail - it was wet and melted fast. But that didn't stop 2 little guys from bundling up (as much as we Phoenicians can with a no winter coat wardrobe!) and jumping around in it! They threw "hail" balls and made "hail" angels. But this got them soaking wet immediately and therefore, storming back upstairs to change out of their wet clothes and head back out. By the time we went inside for good, every article of clothing was wet and thrown on the floor and they were forced to wear their PJs to dinner! I have to admit, it was pretty cool to see. I just love the contrast of the palm tree with "snow" on it. But I still don't miss snow!
